Have fun Aadrian, you'll love it! When I was in London last year, I had not really an idea about where the good coffee was (if there was any), and it was most depressing and I hated the city. When I was there a few months ago, I spent my time only in establishments like toast's ;), flatwhite and squaremile, and suddenly I loved the city. Makes all the difference :)

This week I like my coffee luke-warm.

I'm not going to London anymore :(, we had made reservations for the Hotel, but the the tickets were too expensive . . . Although they advertise with huge banners that the cheapest return ticket by train costs 99 euros, the option is (almost) never available. When it isn't available, it is a lot more :evil:
Bits 'n' pieces . . .

This week I am mainly saying hello to old friends

bumping this thread.

i went to bitter sweat taste of love (is that the name?) today.

it was fuuuuucking brilliant. literally brilliant and i was only there for about 5 minutes. space was used brilliantly. food looked amazing, coffee was great. now i know where they are and how to get there probably i will definitely be making the detour.

dose (espresso?) opened recently too but i haven't had a chance to check it out. exciting stuff

wow. thats some choice language.

everything i have been told about dose seems to indicate that i'll be using the 'wide eyes emoticon' to describe it.

Hi Ross, a few Winter Espresso shots cause me to start using odd language too...
Glad you liked the little hideaway!

Anyone know what Jimmy's opening times are at Dose? looking forward to heading down there!

I think Jimmy is open 7 til 7, or maybe 8 til 6. I get confused. I am going by later, I will find out!

I'm a bit late to this thread but had to post anyway!

Yeah. we love Billy. He pours some amazing shots of the SQM blend and his savoury muffins are to die for :)
